How do I change JIRA's LDAP configuration when I can't log in?

Question

I am using JIRA with a delegated LDAP user directory. Unfortunatley, the corporate HQ took down or moved the LDAP server we were using to authenticate, and now we can't log in. I am aware of a different back-up LDAP server, but I need to get access to the configuration to change it. How can I do this?

Thanks,

You may switch from LDAP to internal directory by making the configuration in the database.

Shut down JIRA and then make the required changed in the DB. I can't give exact example but I think you can find the needed info here:
